NiceGeek hooked us up with an amusing story about assorted legal
wackiness surrounding
CPU Fans. Apparently one company is suing another because they are
(gasp) stealing advanced fan technology and violating patents! Horror! The
sad part is that its probably true. Someone needs to write a perl script to take this story, and s/x/y/g the names and technologies, and then feed every company and technology into it. Then create an archive of every possible violation lawsuit. Then patent the idea,
and sue anyone who violates it. Just cut me in for thinking of it ;)
